Landlord Training Scheduled Police Take Lead To Help Make Rental Properties Safer Tigard Police, in partnership with the Westside Crime Prevention Coalition (WCPC) will present a training opportunity for rental property owners and managers on Saturday, November 5, 2011. Nationally recognized speaker John Campbell will present the eight-hour training session titled "Keeping Illegal Activity Off Rental Properties" at the Portland Community College (PCC) Willow Creek Campus in Aloha. The training curriculum is adapted from a nationally recognized program developed by Campbell. The need for this training came to mind after Campbell, a Portland native, was embattled in his own neighborhood in a struggle with criminals seemingly overtaking the area. The idea was then developed specifically for rental properties in efforts to enhance their safety and create more desirable neighborhoods. The program helps property managers and owners maintain a safe and attractive property while taking steps to reduce the opportunity for crime and related problems. Information about tenant screening, physical elements such as landscaping and maintenance, warning signs of drug dealing and usage, as well as the application process are included in the training. More information regarding the upcoming training for landlords and rental property managers is available by calling 503-846-2579. In addition, WCPC also provides on-going, year-round, free monthly forum for rental property owners and property managers learn about additional methods to keep their properties managed effectively. |
